Benjamin Smith
Complaint 10970 Details

Started talking to Benjamin thru a dating website. He said he was in "love" that part is kinda of simular to most scams. However, he was on the oil rig in Texas and had sent me a copy of his contract thru british petroleum (Shell, UK) that he was getting a large sum of money. He was in love and wanted me to take this money and buy a home for when he returned from the rig. He also had introduced his son and had emails back and forth with him as well. There started fees coming up to get the transfer of money from London where his accounts were and here to the US. I know I know shouldn't have gone this far. I let it and started paying fees over and over till I have lost just about everything I have. I have email from him the "son" in London and the bank. I also have home number and the numbers he had while he was on the rig. I don't beleive he thinks that I have figured this all out and can set it up to where I can maybe trap him and his group of people to prevent this from happening again. Please let me know what I can and need to do to get this to stop. One less scammer one less person to get hurt.
